I had botox because I clinch my jaws at night. The 6th day after I had it done I noticed my lip on my right side drooped a little when I smiled and by the next day I can barely smile and when I do it looks horrible. I have line by my mouth and look older than I did. Is this permanent?

Answer: TMJ Botox treatment When I inject patients with TMJ problems we target the Masseter Muscle which is the main muscle of mastication which adds pressure to the bite force contributing to force against the TMJ. If you have some weakness of the smile muscles it is likely that the injections affected other muscles besides the masseters. Over time, the effect of Botox will wear off. Subsequent injections for TMJ placed deep into the masseter muscle shoule prevent this from happening.
